Very lovely movie of Royal. He is such a majestic horse yet you can still see the "boy" in him because he is such a happy soul. That is what i see above all else in your movie:a beautiful,strong,graceful horse relishing life.What a wonderful job you have done~not only in the movie (the movie star* included)but in raising and caring for him.(*don't mention this to Mousetrap)

You have a beautiful horse - who moves NATURALLY and with such expression. I checked out a couple fo the other youtube videos of TWHs and gave myself a shock. One of them - a 2 year old class - made me feel physically sick to know that those horses have been ruined with "training aids" to get such an exaggerated gait. To do that to such babies too - I don't start my young horses before 4, and then they just toodle around until they are fully mature (with Welsh Cobs that is 7 or so, and Arabs are late maturers too). Give Royal a hug from me and tell him how lucky he is. Jennie

We all so enjoyed this movie! The music was perfect!Royal is amazingly beautiful, so majestic. I loved the slow motion section as we watched him move so effortlessly...magical! You can tell how much he loves life!

I also saw the film on sweet Kayla and cried all the way through it. She was so gentle and lovely.

The Hollywood Star That Changed My Life

Big Fork In The Road

How this farm thing came about is quite unlikely.

I was a Nebraska girl dreaming of living in New York City, wearing Chanel suits, pearls and very high heels. A farm was never part of the plan. Life was about cashmere sweaters, not dirty, muddy shoes.

Then I met a handsome movie star in California. He was charming and good natured, ... but he had a past.

He'd grown up on a farm. He milked cows, rode his horse to school and apparently wore very dirty boots.

He convinced me that our life would be ... normal. And for years, it was. Then, something happened. We decided we needed to live on a farm.

So, that's where we are ... with a barn, horses and all kinds of other creatures necessary to call this a farm. It's true that Hollywood isn't too far away, along with the hectic life that we avoid. There are no dusty roads or Cottonwood trees to line the drive ... this sure isn't Nebraska.

However, with the ocean nearby and all the sunshine, this will do. We love this peaceful life with our animals. And I've become quite attached to my well worn, dusty paddock boots. And, oh by the way, I do wear very tired, very old cashmere sweaters in the barn. Life is good.
